The magistrate's residence in Anyang County.

"Wang, lord, do you think this tea is still to your liking?" Cheng Kun, the county magistrate, sat on a chair, raised his hand to touch the sweat on his forehead, and smiled obsequiously.

Sit on.

The man was wearing a dark blue plain brocade robe, with a jade folding fan pinned to his waist. He held a teacup in his slender white hand, sipped lightly, glanced at Cheng Kun, and showed a gentle smile on the corner of his lips.

"Is Chengzhi County very hot?"

Cheng Kun touched his sweat again, and his heart stopped briefly, "No, no!"

Su Xuanyan smiled and said nothing.

But this smile almost didn't make Cheng Kun kneel down on the spot.

If it is said that His Majesty is cruel and tyrannical today, this King Ding'an is not far behind. It is rumored that the happier the prince smiles, the more ruthless he is when he kills.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Su Xuanyan was ordered to interrogate the female assassin.

Bianzhou...it seems that something is wrong.

Therefore, Su Xuanyan set off overnight and took a group of people to Bianzhou to check, passing through Anyang County for a short rest.

Seeing Cheng Kuncheng's frightened appearance, Su Xuanyan naturally knew what he was afraid of, but he still drank his tea quietly.

'Boom, boom, boom...'

Cheng Kun was already sitting on pins and needles, but when he heard the sudden sound of the drum beating, he almost fell off the chair and shouted loudly: "Master! Master!"

"Yes!" The master hurried over from the door.

"Didn't you say that the prince is here, so you won't accept the case today?" Cheng Kun reprimanded with feigned anger.

The master glanced at Cheng Kun in embarrassment, "Master... the person who beat the drums is Dr. Li from Huichun Hall."

Dr. Li of Huichuntang is a palace doctor who returned to his hometown. He once served the late emperor, but retired due to illness. After he recovered, he went to Huichuntang to work again. He helped the world and saved people on weekdays, and was loved by the people of Anyang County. .

Even Cheng Kun is called Mr. Mr. on weekdays.

But today...

Cheng Kun glanced sideways at Su Xuanyan, waved his hand, and was about to speak.

But Su Xuanyan put down the teacup, and slowly straightened the cuffs of his cuffs, "This king is just passing through here to ask for a cup of tea from the county magistrate. Since this tea is finished, then this king will leave."

As he said that, Su Xuanyan looked at Cheng Kun with a half-smile, and said, "It can't be because the king is here that the people are not even allowed to call for grievances, right?"

Cheng Kun almost wanted to kneel down to Su Xuanyan, the sweat on his back was like he didn't want money, and his whole back was soaked.

"Didn't you hear what the prince said? Hurry up and invite people in!" Cheng Kun scolded the master.

The master looked at Su Xuanyan tremblingly, and responded repeatedly.

"My lord, I will see you off."

Cheng Kun personally sent Su Xuanyan away.

At the door, Li Su put down the drumstick and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

After thinking about it for the past few days, he was still worried about that little baby, so he rushed to report to the police just as they left the city.

Seeing Cheng Kun, he was overjoyed, and was about to step forward, when he saw him nodding and bowing to send out the handsome man, looking at him... he looked familiar.

During this dazed effort, the master grabbed his arm, "Doctor Li, please come inside."

Su Xuanyan got into the carriage, glanced at Li Su who had already stepped into the door, frowned slightly, and felt a little uneasy. This feeling came too suddenly, but he couldn't figure it out.

"My lord?"

Su Xuanyan regained his senses, looked away, and put down the curtain, "Let's go."

"promise."

**

The carriage stopped and went, and soon came to a small town near Bianzhou.

"Uncle Zhao, what's going on here?"

Su Jiu looked out of the carriage through the curtain.

I saw that the grass and trees were withered, a gray-yellow dust was raised from the place where the carriage passed, and the gate of the city not far away was also desolate, and there were no guards at all.

Zhao Enli's face didn't show the slightest fluctuation, as if he had been used to it for a long time, he didn't answer, but drove the carriage straight into the city.

This is a small city close to Bianzhou.

After entering the city, what catches the eye is not the bustling and bustling market, but the desolate and desolate silence.

There were many ragged people sitting on both sides of the street, their faces were full of ashes. They were numb and dull. When they saw the carriage, a trace of bloodthirsty flashed in their eyes that wanted to tear people apart.

But when he caught a glimpse of the saber at Zhao Enli's waist, the only color in his eyes quickly faded away.

"uncle."

The villain has never seen such a miserable situation in the world, his almond eyes are full of confusion and unspeakable sadness, so sad that his voice is stained with tears.

Zhao Enli squeezed the horse rope tightly, heard the fear in the villain's voice, and smiled in his heart, are you afraid?

Bianzhou has been in disaster for several months, starvation is everywhere, and this is only on the edge of Bianzhou, and further in, people change their children to eat, and cannibalism often happens.

But what about the master of this country?

He was still in the imperial palace in the distant capital city, clothed in fine clothes and well-fed, embracing left and right, and even in the mood to hunt.

Why? !

Why do they have to encounter these?

Are they not citizens of this country?

But even so, Zhao Enli found sadly that only Su Yijun could save Bianzhou.

Zhao Enli clenched his teeth, his teeth creaking from hatred, his eyes were bloodshot.

"Ah! Don't! I beg you not!"

At this time-

A scream begging for mercy broke the dead silence.

The villain immediately opened the curtain.

not far away.

Several fierce-looking men in common clothes surrounded a woman. The leading man ignored the woman's begging for mercy and grabbed the baby in the woman's arms.

The baby was woken up, crying, hoarse and weak.

"Damn it, are you guys dead? Why don't you pull this crazy woman away!"

The man was very fat, his face was full of flesh, and he kicked the woman's heart mercilessly. The woman let out a muffled groan, blood flowed from her mouth, her body trembled, but she remained motionless, tightly hugging the man's thigh.

Several other people looked at each other, and hurried forward to pull her, fists rained down on the woman, but the woman still clung tightly to the fat man's thigh, until finally the woman couldn't hold it anymore and let go The hand was kicked to the ground.

The fat man took this opportunity to step back quickly, turned around and left with the crying baby in his arms.

The woman had a stern expression, and her eyes burst out with endless light behind her messy hair. It was resentment and hatred, and it was a mother's tenacious protection of her children.

"Qian Daren! He is your son! How could you do this to our son!"

The fat man Qian Daren paused, and gave the woman a disgusted 'pooh' sound, "I can't even afford to eat, so give me back my son? If you weren't worthless, I would have sold you out a long time ago. "

After speaking, the fat man led a group of people holding the baby and left without looking back.

"Mother! Mother, don't scare me!"

At this time, in the corner, a disheveled girl came to the woman and wanted to help her up from the ground, but she was young and had hardly eaten these days, so she failed to get up after several attempts. Instead, he himself fell to the ground.

"Mother! Come here! Please save my mother!"

The girl looked no more than five or six years old, hugged the woman's head, and burst into tears.

But everyone around knew that this woman might not live long.
